es in agriculture are cash crops reserved for export.B. Farms are owned and worked by a small fraction of the population.C. people would rather eat less nutritious foods imported from developed nations.D. State-run economies ensure the lower classes cannot afford food.
The correct answer would be alternative A) "most of those increases in agriculture are cash crops reserved for export."
The increase of production of crops doesn't benefit the hungry, as the crops are not meant for them. They're destined to exportation. For this reason, the hungry don't get anything from the increase in production.
One of the ways to prevent hunger in developing countries would be to have this crops used for social programs, and distribute food to the hungry. However, that's not the way it's done.
Britain went through some extraordinary changes. The population rose from 10 million in 1750 to 42 million in 1900. In 1750 most of these people lived in villages in the countryside; by 1900 most of the British people lived in towns and cities.
